Always arrive before dark because the beach is more difficult to navigate at night. We recommend lowering your tire pressure to 15-20 psi so bring a tire pressure gauge along. Tires can be re-inflated at any of the area gas stations or the county put in FREE air stations at the Historic Corolla Park, 1100 Club Road, Corolla. The Park is on the sound side of the road. Turn in at the park road, make a right at the stop sign and another quick right into the gravel parking lot. The air up stations will be at the end of the lot. Check area tide charts prior to arrival. Low tide is ideal for beach driving. Follow all posted speed limits (35 mph or 15 mph when within 300 feet of pedestrians or wild horses). Drive on the hard-packed sand near the edge of the water or close to the dunes. Leave the middle of the beach available for parked vehicles. Drivers must be 16 years of age and possess a valid driver’s license. ATVs are not permitted. Also, Currituck County does not allow personal motorized watercraft on the ocean. Jet skis and personal motorboats are allowed on the Currituck Sound. The closest boat ramp is located at the Whalehead Club in Corolla. Due to shallow water and grass, this ramp is suitable for small craft only. For more information regarding Currituck County's rules and regulations, please contact the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Fantastic place - owners were excellent, very communicative. One toilet and one shower in separate rooms were not working. Not a big inconvenience. Air filters need replacing. Amazing location in OBX. Would love to stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The owner was extremely friendly and responsive. The location of the house was perfect- gorgeous views of the ocean, dunes and wild horses. Having a pool was also great for the entire family. This property had the perfect layout.We will be back!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The setting is quite beautiful. We had zero issue getting there and back daily. The first level- there’s a door that was just standing- not actually hanging. Downstairs fridge leaks, tv didn’t work in a few rooms. For me the worst part was the hot water situation- there isn’t enough to go around. When the water is used on other floors no water will come out of the faucet on the 3rd floor. The water also comes out with a lot of sediment. Everything was in ok condition- otherwise. We woke up to horses several mornings.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2024
We recently stayed at this beach rental and were excited about its prime location, which is undoubtedly its best feature. However, our experience was marred by several significant issues.
First and foremost, the water system had severe rust issues, which we discovered when our laundry came out stained with an orange hue. This problem extended beyond just the washing machine; even our swimwear was affected after being worn in the pool. The owner did send maintenance to address the issue promptly and provided a partial refund for the ruined items, which we appreciated. However, the compensation was minimal, and the owner’s dismissive attitude and lack of empathy left a sour taste.
The owner suggested that sunscreen interacting with the water was the cause, which implies future renters should avoid using sunscreen to prevent damage—an impractical expectation at a beach property.
Additionally, we encountered several other issues:
The cleanliness of the floors was questionable, leaving our bare feet dirty.
About half of the outlets did not work.
A light fixture was hanging from the ceiling in one bathroom.
While we managed to overlook these problems and enjoy the beach, the overall experience with the property and more so the host was disappointing.
I would advise future renters to be cautious, especially with laundry and swimwear. In other reviews, cleanliness seems to be a problem so perhaps a new cleaning company should be utilized.
